Lots of Skating.

I'm on a roll now. So a couple days ago I skated at UCLA with a pretty big crew. Right as I showed up Tyler and Tislam were already getting beastly on this rail at the Wooden Center.

Unfortunately we were also getting kicked out at the same time so I couldn't really set up for a photo. I dig whip out my camera for a second though and got this shot of Tislam tweaking out a front nose. Can someone tell me what Tislam's full name is? I was in such a rush that didn't even realize I was shooting at 3200 iso. After the rail I spent about an hour shooting photos of Tislam, Josh, and Austin throwing themselves down this ridiculously long set of stairs. Unfortunately none of them landed their shit, so I'm not gonna post the photos.


(Make sure to double click on the video and watch it in HD).
Yesterday (new year's eve), I went skating around Chinatown again. After skating this famous metal ledge spot for a while I busted out the camera right before we left. Max Schwartz stuck this switch backside nosegrind pop out (like a champ) right away, and we moved on to the next spot. I love Max's switch backside nosegrinds and one of my favorite photos I've ever shot was of one: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1433/1395049290_f1ec009d01_o.jpg


After the ledge spot we went to this nearby street gap. This is just a snap shot I took while Josue was warming up. After this he got gnarly and stuck a ridiculous trick, but I'm not gonna post up that photo quite yet.


I also took this video of Josue's ollie, but my camera really couldn't keep up with it in the lowlight and with Josh moving so fast. At least it shows how fucking big this gap is.


Last but not least Whitey came through with this amazing and not at all faked, Airwalk. Steeeze. Check the facial expression, so smooth.

I'm Back.

So I haven't posted anything in ages mostly because I had my D70 stolen and I'm too lazy to get film processed most of the time. Well anyway, I have a new camera now so I should be updating decently often. My new camera has an awesome little video mode as well, so expect some random clips along with the photos.


Just messing around at this ledge spot near Chinatown with Josue. Watch your back Grajeda Films. You can watch the clip in better quality if you double click on it and click "watch in high quality."


Then we went to this high coped ledge spot down the street from Chiparaki. Christian was stoked just sitting in the sun.


Josue was working on some shit.


Josh Campos - Switch Front Nose. I really wanted to shoot this ledge straight on but unfortunately there was a car parked right in front of the skateable part of the ledge.


Another view. Still getting back into flow of things.


This shit should be a O'Quinn ad. Josue trying to be all cool.

Kicking it in the car.



I deleted the montage of clips and instead I"ve decided to present all my video clips separately, and treat them sort of like photos. Here they are.


Josh Campos - back tail fakie.


Josh Campos - switch front nose.


Josh Campos - back tail shuv.


Josh Campos and Max Schwartz - tail skid doubles.

Random Roll

I finally got around to developing a random roll of film I shot a while ago. Nothing too exciting, but here is what I got.

I busted my ankle skating at Samo a couple months ago, I still can't do any nollie flick tricks. Anyway, this is what I saw when I was laying down being super bummed right after it happened.

Suraj was there.

I went bike cruising with Christian one lovely afternoon. Taking pictures with a manual camera while trying to ride a bike is fucking difficult.

Shot a couple photos while lunch breaking it at work.

Need a mattress?

Some unlucky guys were getting arrested.

Nicole and I took my visiting British cousin Jenny and her friend Thea to this famous Malibu beach spot.

My feet.

This dude killed me. Just a snap shot as I walked by.

Just some water and a rock.

I went on an amazing trip with Nicole to San Francisco. Sitting on a ledge, waiting for the bus.

Kennedy poke.

This isn't from the roll, but it is awesome. Spotted this graffiti gem while driving in the mountains. I had to stop and get a photo.
